Kristoff's lead out went way too early, kicked so hard and then died a thousand deaths. Sagan and Ewan didn't even look like they really got going, that looked really hard0
-
Wonder if someone had a quiet word with Viviani after the Giro and told him to stop trying to be so bloody clever?0
-
Viv looks like Greipel when shouting0

Yes! Exactly what i thought0 -
It was his aerodynamic schnoz what won it.Correlation is not causation.0
-
he was more than a nose ahead there though0
-
Sure, but if that nose was put in a wind tunnel and the correct angle of attack attained. We could be talking metres!0

Pierre-luc Perichon's crash today. It's not as though there weren't enough warning from the rest of the peloton and marshals to avoid the road divisions. He's alright thankfully.0 -
Decent sprint in hindsight"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

What a bizarre place for someone to leave some children's soft play equipment.0 -
Big fan of Richeze's lead out work“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0

Yes was very good actually.
Fair fight, technical, everyone was in it.
Groenewegen is suffering from the crash he says.
Bit worried about him, seems more down than usual.0 -

Backaert then joked that Offredo was also in the break today because last night the DS put two short straws in the pot they drew from.
Offredo, however, denied he pulled a short straw, saying he hadn't planned at all to be in the break today, “but all of a sudden, I was“.0 -
Blazing, tonight’s avondetappen is a classic.
Multiple detailed sprint breakdowns, a classical piece inspired by the Tour, interviews with lead out guys on whether they like to hinder rivals when they’re done and being blasted by the speakers of a projection light show the locals are playing in the (rather beautiful) square they’ve camped in.0 -

Within reason (ie so it’s not unsafe) most do.0 -
was it just me or did you just assume Adam Blythe has a pair of red and white stripey trousers to go with that shirt today0
